结核杆菌19ku脂蛋白的表达与纯化

目的:通过基因工程技术获得重组结核分枝杆茵19 ku蛋白。方法:应用PCR技术扩增卡介苗的19 ku蛋白DNA序列;以质粒pET28a为表达栽体,构建19 ku重组质粒,然后转化大肠埃希菌BL21(DE3);在异丙基硫代-β-D-半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导下,分别对不同诱导时间的表达产物进行十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE),凝胶经考马斯亮蓝染色检测蛋白。通过镍柱纯化后获得目的蛋白。结果:重组质粒pET28a-p19测序表明与报道的序列相同。它在大肠埃希菌BL21(DE3)细胞内以可溶性形式表达。不同IPTG诱导时间实验表明重组结核分枝杆茵l9 ku蛋白诱导4 h在大肠埃希菌中的表达量最高。结论:pET28a-p19大肠埃希菌工程株可高表达结核分枝杆菌重组19 ku蛋白。     

Ubi1 intron-mediated enhancement of the expression of Bt cry1Ah gene in transgenic maize （Zea mays L.）

The cry1Ah gene was one of novel insecticidal genes cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis isolate BT8. Two plant expression vectors containing cry1Ah gene were constructed. The first intron of maize ubiqutinl gene was inserted between the maize Ubiquitin promoter and cry1Ah gene in one of the plant expressing vectors （pUUOAH）. The two vectors were introduced into maize immature embryonic calli by microprojectile bombardment, and the reproductively plants were acquired. PCR and Southern blot analysis showed that foreign genes had been integrated into maize genome and inherited to the next generation stably. The ELISA assay to T1 and T2 generation plants showed that the expression of CrylAh protein in the construct containing the ubil intron （pUUOAH） was 20% higher than that of the intronless construct （pUOAH）. Bioassay results showed that the transgenic maize harboring cry1Ah gene had high resistance to the Asian corn borers and the insecticidal activity of the transgenic maize containing the ubil intron was higher than that of the intronless construct. These results indicated that the maize ubil intron can enhance the expression of the Bt cry1Ah gene in transgenic maize efficiently

Multi-model approaches to phylogenetics: Implications for idealization

Phylogenetic models traditionally represent the history of life as having a strictly-branching tree structure. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the history of life is often not strictly-branching; lateral gene transfer, endosymbiosis, and hybridization, for example, can all produce lateral branching events. There is thus motivation to allow phylogenetic models to have a reticulate structure. One proposal involves the reconciliation of genealogical discordance. Briefly, this method uses patterns of disagreement – discordance – between trees of different genes to add lateral branching events to phylogenetic trees of taxa, and to estimate the most likely cause of these events. I use this practice to argue for: (1) a need for expanded accounts of multiple-models idealization, (2) a distinction between automatic and manual de-idealization, and (3) recognition that idealization may serve the meso-level aims of science in a different way than hitherto acknowledged.     

基因武器的伦理困境及其防范路径

基因武器作为一种超大规模的杀伤性武器,在现代战争中可以发挥奇效.但基因武器在军事中的存在与应用,将使平民豁免面临困境、使战争手段更不人道、使战争后果难以控制、以及诱发严重的生态灾难等,因而面临诸多的战争伦理困境.有鉴于此,在当前时代背景下,人类作为战争的主体,应守住基因武器禁用于战争的伦理底线,厘清基因技术研发的善...     

大豆肽对果蝇睡眠的影响

研究大豆肽(soybean peptides, SBP)对果蝇睡眠的影响。通过大豆分离蛋白酶解,制得SBP,选择20日的雄性果蝇,分为4组,无添加的培养基作为空白组,SBP分为2、4、8mg/mL额外添加到培养基作为3个实验模型组,通过VideoTrack动物行为分析系统监测果蝇睡眠时长,并检测SBP对果蝇脑部生物钟基因(per、tim、clk、cyc)与参与调控睡眠神经递质合成限速酶的基因(gad、tph、gdh、hdc)以及五羟色胺(5-hydroxytryptamine,5-HT)的影响。研究发现,在监测睡眠的第2日晚上,SBP对果蝇睡眠延长效果最好,并呈现剂量依赖性,又通过剥离取头,分析其生物钟基因(per、tim、clk、cyc)和神经递质合成限速酶基因(gad、tph、gdh、hdc),得到SBP是通过调节tim和tph的基因表达并提高5-HT在脑部的含量来延长果蝇的睡眠时长的结论。
